The McClamp is capable of holding items for photography in the laboratory or in the field. Table top photography is made easy with the flexible arm and firm jaws. Two McClamps can be used for holding two related objects at the correct distance and angle for the optimum lighting.

The weight that the McClamp is able to support is dependent on the length and position of the flexible arm. As a matter of physics, the McClamp will want to flex mostly within the first few segments of the mount clamp. To achieve optimal performance use gradual bends with distribution of weight along many joints. Orienting the weight over the mount clamp, spiraling the flexible arm and “touching” the table is also helpful.

Scissors weighing 13oz are held behind a magnifying glass for photographing the fingerprint.
